COLLAR BUTTON AND TIE ADJUSTER.

Application filed. October 25, 1923. Serial No. 670,646.

To all whom it may concern.

Be it known that ANoEL B. STUBBINs, a citizen of the United States residing at Alliance, in the county of Stark and State of Ohio has invented certain new and useful Improvements in Collar Button and Tie Adjusters, of which the following is a specification.

This invention is in the way of a collar 1 button and tie adjuster, and the object of the invention is to provide a simple and eflicient device for securing the necktie to the collar button in self-adjusted relation.

In the drawing- 4 Figure 1 is a front elevation ofthe device as in use for holding a tie in place, the tie being indicated in dotted lines and the device itself shown in solid lines;

Figure 2 is a front view of the device detached;

Figure 3 is a side detached;

view of the device Figure 4. is a rear view of a tie withthe device secured thereto.

The invention consists of a sheet metal stamping embodying a button claw 1 adapted to hook over the top of the collar button 2 as mounted in the collar 3, and having an integral, depending hollow stem 4 closed at the lower end. but open at the upper end, and provided with eyelets 5, whereby the device may be sewed to the back of the tie 6. A small coil spring 7 is set'into the lower end of the stem 4, and slidingly mounted in this stem and seated upon the collar button spring 7 is a pressure pin 8 with a button tab 9-turned perpendicularly outward at its upper end. p In use, the device is sewed or, otherwise secured to they back of the tie. The but- 40 ton tab is pressed down. The claw is set down over the button and the buttontab is then allowed to press upward against the button through the action of the spring; whereby the tie is securely locked to the button and to the collar.

While I have herein described a certain specific manner and method of constructing and assembling the elements of my invention it is understood that I may vary from the samein minor'details, not departingfrom the spirit of my invention, so as best to construct a'practical device for the purpose intended, as defined in the appended claim.

I claim:

A device of the kind described, comprising a button claw adapted to engage the a hollow stein depending fromthe button claw; a coil springseated Q in the hollow stem; and apressure pin seated in the hollow stem upon the spring, the pin having a button engaging tab at its upper end.

In testimony whereof I aflix my signa- JOHN D. VAGG.
